Aye, inbox me that!...After you try it and can vouch for it tho

Maaaannnnn........that recipe was wrong. I could just barely taste a hint of it if I concentrated real hard. I'm going to double it up and try it again sometime after the holiday.

1 tablespoon of white vinegar
2 cloves of garlic minced
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of crumbled dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon of ground pepper
¼ teaspoon of mild chili peppers finely minced (the key is to make sure they are VERY finely minced)
6 ounces of pineapple juice
2 tablespoons of lime juice
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
4 pounds of chicken for frying, cut up in the sizes you plan to serve

No way is 6 ounces of marinade enough for 4 lbs of chicken.

do you think it would be a good marinade if you had the right amount? i hate concocting marinades for them to still be flavorless

You know what? I don't even know cause marinades do kick my ass. I've had a bunch come out flavorless even though I marinated the meat a long time. It's trial and error for me. I found a copycat Chipotle marinade a few years ago and that came out really good. I need to find that one again one day.

made pizza from scratch for the first time!

Spoiler

it's a deep dish red onion, rosemary-tarragon seasoned mushroom and spicy sausage pizza with a tamarind-tomato sauce topped with mozzarella, parmesean and havarti cheese

edit: forgot to mention the lemon hibiscus iced green tea I made too, I'm going nuts with tea right now lol

That pizza looks good as hell



Also, ya'll should check out www.seriouseats.com That Kenji has some nice recipes and good cooking tips

I need to get back on my hibiscus tea, that's shyt it either alone or with a tiny bit of raw sugar or honey.

Yeah I've brined before and I love it. Matter of fact though, when I tried to move beyond a basic salt and sugar brine it came out flavorless as well lol

you could try a flavored salt and sugar
like a garlic salt and coconut sugar
edit; yo I think I stumbled upon something genius with the flavored sugars
my turkeys and gravlax are about to hit the next level
